Egyptians Storm Israeli Embassy in Cairo (Part 2)
INITIAL POST: The kind of political reform in Egyptian desired by the US, Israel and the military council:
And, here's another example:Egypt says it will send those who incited or took part in the violence targeting the Israeli embassy in Cairo to a emergency state security court.
After a meeting of the ministerial crisis group and talks with Egypt's military ruler, Information Minister Osama Hassan Heikal made the announcement in a televised statement after Israel, the US and other countries criticised the storming of the tower that houses the embassy.
Apparently, the defense of the Camp David accords requires the imposition of a state of emergency on the streets of Cairo.Information Minister Osama Heikal said in a televised message that Egyptian authorities will apply all articles of the emergency law to ensure safety following the embassy attack.
Egypt affirms its total commitment to respecting international conventions, including the protection of all [diplomatic] missions.
Meanwhile, the nationalistic mood may be accurately captured by the following:
The global response borders on the hysterical. A perusal of the Guardian blog reveals a parade of countries and political figures rushing to issue public statements condemning the attack. At least 3 people were killed and over 1,000 injured during street clashes.As reported by Reuters news agency, Mustafa Yahya's mother wailed and tore her robe in the Cairo hospital where her son's body lay in the morgue, accusing her own country's troops of killing him as they defended Israel's embassy from protesters overnight.
To hell with Israel. Why is the army protecting Israel and killing my children? she screamed, voicing the popular anger that has been well and truly unleashed since six Egyptian border guards were killed last month in an Israeli operation against a cross-border militant raid.
